Reducing speed in areas of high traffic mix is one of the simplest and most effective ways to make that possible. Safer speeds support safer streets, safer transport systems, and safer communities #RoadSafety #SafeUrbanSpeeds #50t030 #WorldPublicTransportDay

As we celebrate women this month of March, the women of ICHA reflect on a simple but powerful theme: #GiveToGain When women give their time, knowledge, and support, communities grow stronger; and we all gain. #IWD #GiveToGain

Even as floods impact parts of the country, the drought crisis continues to push millions of Kenyans to the brink. More than 3.3 million people need food assistance, 1.5 million urgently need water, and over 200,000 children are battling severe acute malnutrition. Communities across arid and semi-arid counties are facing a deepening humanitarian crisis. Kenya Red Cross is on the on the ground providing water, food assistance, nutrition support and health services but the scale of need continues to grow. The drought is worsening. Urgent support is needed to save lives and protect livelihoods.

This #IWD2026 we celebrate women who turn opportunity into impact. Through the Women Social Entrepreneurship Institute, entrepreneurs like Cynthia Baha, Fatma Ali & Veronica Nzuu are building businesses that uplift communities. When women gain, communities gain. #GiveToGain
